I've rewritten part of this so that it works with Apple iPhone / iPad + Safari. I'll upload the updated version tomorrow for testing. 

---

This should now be working on iPhone/iPad as well as Android.

I've also made a number of changes to the camera.

1) A timeout and feedback is provided if upload fails

2) If location services a notification is provided and no attempt to upload the photo is made

3) The camera screen is greyed out as the upload takes place to prevent the possibility of buttons being accidentally pressed

It is still restricted to TWO forum users and can be accessed here:

https://www.theweatheroutlook.com/photo-uploader.aspx

 

I'll be improving the viewer so that:

1) More usable on mobile

2) Links to most recent photos in addition to the latest one

3) Full size view of the pics

3) View galleries by date and click through to full sized picture here:

4) View galleries by user, for example:

Stickied. 

I'll also integrate into the site and forum fully once I'm happy with it. However, it is usable now.

Thanks Brian

Few changes to make it easier to use.

1) Upload or take picture using the device camera if one is available

2) You can now rotate images

3) The gallery defaults to showing the most recent images 

 

Camera and uploader

Gallery
https://www.theweatheroutlook.com/twoother/sky-eye-gallery.aspx

 

Tested on Android, IOS and Windows.

 

EDIT: the latest 3 photos are featured on the TWO homepage below the latest news section.

If you're authenticating with a TWO forum account your pics are published immediately. If you're using Google, Facebook or Twitter to login they should appear on the site within a few hours. 

 

You can also quickly share on Twitter. View the full sized image by clicking on the thumbnail in the image gallery and then get the url, for example:

https://www.theweatheroutlook.com/twoother/sky-eye-gallery.aspx?id=20191218081445_20191218&user=brian%20gaze&ut=Berkhamsted&uc=Hertfordshire&ucr=United%20Kingdom&ud=Murky%20morning%20in%20Berko&lat=51.8&lon=-0.6

 

Then simply paste the url into a Tweet to generate something like this:

Sorry, just seen your comment now.

Most likely the image file you are trying to upload is too big. I've set the upload limit at around 250kb. 

---

Keyword tagging now added in.

When uploading weather related photos to the TWO image gallery you can now assign keywords. These will help your pics appear in searches (soon to be available) and to be found more easily. https://t.co/iteZ3BbWlV pic.twitter.com/AP0po30zzA

Hi Brian I’m also having difficulties uploading photos from iPhone/iPad with the message “File size too big. Resize or compress”

this is awkward on iOS . The only ways I can do this is by reducing the size of the image to about half its area. And I’ve no idea how to compress photos on iOS.

Any chance the file size limit can be increased?

Cheers

Also, I did manage to upload one photo about 20 minutes ago. By cropping the pic drastically, but I can’t see it in the gallery?

 

Please can I have help and advice on how to add photos to the photography forum.  Thank you

You may have disabled location services on TWO?

Brian, I have a video that I’d like you and others to look at, possibly of ball lightning.  I don’t have

web space to publish it to. Any chance I can email it for you to upload?

I can't really host videos at the moment because of the amount of bandwidth they can consume. Can you upload to YouTube?

Thanks.  Never tried it before but will have a go.

The guy who owns the video is going to have a go at uploading it to YouTube later.  I’ll add a link when he’s done it.

Here you go Brian. What do you make of it?  It is genuine and the guy saw it and looked back on his CCTV.
